White Hair, Bok choy, and Exploding Head Syndrome

Dear insansapinas,

Madalas sabihin ng ating payrents ang " Puputi ang buhok ko sa kunsomisyon sainyo." O kaya namuti raw ang buhok sa takot. Pero totoo ba? (tingin sa puting buhok na sumisilip sa aking itim na buhok. Hiya pa sila eh, nagtatago).

Ito raw ang eksplanasyon diyan: 
Para namang di ako kumbinsido kasi ang cause na sinasabi ay yong nahuhulog ang buhok na hindi puti at yong puti lang ang natitira.

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition that attacks hair follicles, causing pigmented hair such as black, brown, red, or blonde to fall out, leaving the gray and white nonpigmented hairs behind. (Eventually most people lose all their hair entirely.) “If someone has salt-and-pepper hair – a mixture of gray and black – and they develop alopecia areata, the dark hairs can fall out quickly,” he says. “So it appears that they’ve gone gray overnight.

Eh kung karamihan itim ang buhok mo, tapos nalugas yong itim, natira ang puti, baka halos kalbo ka na. Kagaya ko ang puting buhok ko mostly nasa tuktok. Imaginin ko lang ang na malulugas yong itim, ewww.

Sabi pa:

Researchers who have studied historical references to the phenomenon also believe a “sudden” change in hair color could also be traced to hair dye simply washing out.

Sinisi pa ang hair color. Ang puting buhok pag wala na ang dye, ay nagiging parang blond muna. Yong puting buhok ay mga bagong tubo. Hanubayan. 

Parang ang babaw ng eksplanasyon. Kailangan pang sisirin. Sisid, sisid. 

Bok choy

Siguro naman alam ninyo ang bok choy. Ito ang pechay ng mga Chinese. 

The woman showed up at a New York emergency room last summer, complaining she couldn’t walk or swallow. But the real trouble, according to a report in Wednesday’s New England Journal of Medicine, was that she’d been chowing down on 2 to 3 pounds of bok choy every day for several months in hopes of controlling her diabetes. 

Yon pala kinakain niya ng hilaw. Whew. Biruin mong tigas ng bok choy except yong dahon. gusto ko pa naman ang bok choy lalo na pag boil lang at lagyan ng kaunting low sodium soy sauce.

Exploding Head Syndrome

Sabi sa article:

Marie Raymond sometimes wakes up in the middle of the night, heart pounding, freaked out by the sound of her name being shouted loud and clear. Other times she’ll be awakened by the sound of a huge crash, as if someone has broken a window or knocked over a set of dishes.

Ganito rin ako, minsan nagigising, parang may sumigaw sa tainga ko ng pangalan ko at ako ay ginigising o kaa biglang parang may nahulog. Sa akin alam ko yong kasama illegal ghost na kasakasama ko. Kasi alas tres palagi ang gising sa akin nyan. Minsan katok sa wall o pinto ang gigising sa akin.


Ito naman ang eksplanasyon. Roll eyes, roll eyes, roll eyes...

As strange as the name sounds, exploding head syndrome is actually a rare and relatively undocumented sleep phenomenon. While sleeping or dozing, a person with the condition hears a terrifically loud sound in their head, such as a bomb exploding, a clash of cymbals or a gun going off.

Kababaw ulit.  Makainom na nga ng gamot. Baka makalimutan ko na naman ay magtutulo na naman ang aking sipon at luha.
